The Honey Hunter: playtime
OK there is action online. Yes indeed. Bring it on! Finally, some new toys for Missy to play with… In reverse order are Beautiful Boy, Afro Dude and Charming Man. Last but not least: Beautiful Boy (who winked at me, yes, me!)… Swoon and swoon again and then swoon a bit more. He truly is […]
The Honey Hunter: online dating with Team Italia!
God bless Team Italia. They arrived in quick succession. Were they all online together? How did they know I needed a little boost. Lots of ‘complimenti’ fired my way. I’m ignoring age and geography (most are in their twenties and live in Italy) and instead I’m enjoying having beautiful eyes, a beautiful smile and generally […]

The Honey Hunter: Virtual whirlwind
Blue Eyes came from nowhere. There he was smiling in nearly every photo, in different locations, out with friends, on holiday… not posing and pouting in selfies taken in his living room (seriously – do women like that?). His profile was well written (good spelling and grammar), warm, charming, funny without trying too hard… I […]
The Honey Hunter: testosterone tsunami
Be careful what you wish for…it came from nothing. All in one go. There was nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. I can barely speak about it. I need to construct a shelter, rebuild my life, pick up the pieces and start again. What. Just. Happened? Mr Smooth had been including lots of smiley faces […]
